Suggestion, ox-latex: Perhaps a line break should be inserted into low-level headlines

Suggestion, ox-latex: Perhaps a line break should be inserted into low-level headlines

[Anders Johansson]

Hi,
Currently low-level headlines in latex export to:

\item HEADLINE-TEXT
\label{sec-1-3}
CONTENTS

This makes the headline text and contents go together in the same line 
with just a space in between. I think there should be a line break or 
paragraph break between them.

Something like

\item HEADLINE-TEXT
\label{sec-1-3}\\
CONTENTS

Or:

\item HEADLINE-TEXT
\label{sec-1-3}

CONTENTS

The first variant means modifying the headline-label variable (or 
something like that) in org-latex-headline. The second is less messy to 
implement.

Cheers,
Anders Johansson

Not really. Export respects blank lines between the headline an its
contents. So

  * Headline

    Contents

will be exported as

  \item Headline
  \label{whatever}

  Contents

I don't think is should be mandatory.

  * Low-level-headline ---
    Some conents

is meant to be inserted on the same line.

Hi,
I see. This just didn't really fit with my use-case. I seldom decide 
before what will be considered "low-level" headlines and make them 
special. For my large "generated" documents I'll hack something together 
then.

I guess that even if it's not mandatory it could always be an option :-)

Cheers,

You don't have to decide anything. Just put a blank line just after
headline (or planning info) every time.
